I support educating landowners, loggers and land managers on the characteristics of Cheoah Bald salamander and how current BMPs effectively protect or fail to protect their habitat. Information on this species and where it resides already exists; these resources can be used to educate those people who are most active on the land -- and thus most likely to cause adverse effects.
Be knowledgeable about species management plans and review them regularly (FROM FSC: How does this mitigate the risk of sourcing from areas where this species is being threatened by forest management activities?)
Participate in the discussion forum to share ideas and provide feedback about practical actions that companies can take to promote positive impacts on forest management, and reduce the risk of procuring wood from forests where important ecological values are threatened.
The forum is organized by each Regional Meeting with each Specified Risk Topic listed under each meeting:
Asheville (Appalachian Region)
Atlanta (Southeast/Mississippi Alluvial Valley Regions)
Portland (Pacific Coast/Rocky Mountain Regions)
Please post your comments and mitigation ideas under the correct topic. Example: To suggest a mitigation idea for Houston Toad, go into "Atlanta Meeting", find "Houston Toad" and add your comment within that section.
Please keep all comments as succinct as possible, and be respectful of others and their ideas. Moderators will remove any inappropriate content.
If you have any general questions, please fill out the contact form, or email standardsforum@us.fsc.org.
Want to post anonymously? Send your comments with the specific topic to standardsforum@us.fsc.org to be posted.
